Description: We are test driving zope by constructing our Globopolis intranet with it. One of the intranet's primary functions will be a bulletin board, and I have tried programming a mailto form three different ways using tutorials. It has yet to work. My most recent attempt involved creating a mail host and the feedback/sendfeedback documents. However, upon submission I get an SMTP error saying that the domain must be specified. I have checked with the tech guys here and maybe they're high on smack, but I believe the host and mail addresses are correct. I have just about given up on successfully implementing any forms using zope, please throw me an innertube..
The following patch replaces the stock Mailhost code with a new version based off of smtplib (a module that comes with Python). I've heard nothing but positive reports from people using it. It is in the Collector and <hint, hint, Chris> should be in the next version of Zope. Apply the patch from inside your Zope directory using the "patch" command. I've got a Win32 version of "patch" I could mail you privately if you need it (its about 60k, not that big). -- Stephen Pitts smpitts@midsouth.rr.com
